THE INSTITUTION OF BAPTISM
What Is Baptism?
 Baptism is the Sacrament

instituted by Jesus Christ for
the Forgiveness of the Original
Sin, the Adoption as God’s
Children, and the Incorporation
in the Church.
 The term “Baptism”

originates from the Greek
word Baptismos, meaning
“Immersion,” since in the
early centuries this Sacrament
was mostly celebrated by
submerging the catechumens
in water. Also Jesus was
baptized by immersion in the
Jordan River (cf. Mt. 3:16).
When Did Jesus Institute the Sacrament of Baptism?
 Jesus instituted the

Sacrament of Baptism
before the Ascension,
when he announced the
Missionary Mandate to
his Apostles:
 “Go, therefore, make
disciples of all the
nations; baptize them in
the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I
commanded you”
(Matthew 28:19-20).
Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?
 Since Christ’s resurrection, Baptism is essential for salvation, as he
declared: “Unless a man is born through water and Spirit, he cannot enter

as possible. Infants of Bethlehem. and of his Church.
What Is the Meaning of, “Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus”?
 The maxim, “Outside the Church there is no salvation,” means that
those who know that the Church was founded by God, and still refuse to
be baptized or to remain in Her, will not be saved. As Jesus declared:
“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe
will be condemned” (Mark 16:16).

anointing with Chrism, which
